we celebrate the day of our first date every year. I'm sad that neither of us can remember what day we first started met :(
We usually just do every year but we did go out to dinner on our 1-month-aversary of being married. We might do something special for the 6-month mark (it's nea v-day) but that won't be a recurring thing.
We do something on the anniversary of the day we met because it's also my FI's bday. FI's bday is the real reason we do something special on that day but we also throw a little something in for our "anniversary".
We also celebrate the anniversary we met every year. I'm not really into monthly or half year anniversaries because it reminds me of junior high! "Like omg we've been together for 3 whole months!" *swoon*
I look forward to our yearly anniversary :)
I voted none. Couldn't even tell you when we went on our first date, I have no idea.
We try to do something special for each 'month' anniversary we've been dating. In the four years we've been dating, there have been a handful of times we weren't able to get together because of being out of town or an event we couldn't change, but it's always been nice to have one special day of the month carved out for us. ...he proposed on that 'day' - and, while we weren't intentionally planning for it - our wedding day falls on that 'day' - so we'll be celebrating it for a lifetime! :)
We generally acknowledge our dating anniversary (sometimes we exchange cards or go out to dinner, but it's not really a big deal). I'm hoping to pay a little more attention to our wedding anniversaries once we get there. :)
nothing, nada, zip. makes me kinda sad. i could start doing something i suppose.... but alas, i try to leave these things up to the boy.
Ours was Valentine's Day, so it's not hard to remember and celebrate! For the first year, we did something for 1 month and 6 month. Now it's just every year.
I think we celebrated a few 6 month anniversaries when we were first dating, but now it's just the year ones. (We've been together 4.5 yrs now).
We celebrate every 6 months! I'm sure that will stop once we get married, but we really just love every chance we have to celebrate!
I thought I was the only one who did not celebrate anniversaries with my BF! HE strongly believes that anniversaries are to celebrate your wedding date ONLY!
Nada. Don't actually even know the date that we started dating.
We also don't do valentines day. Neither of us are into it. Plus, we spend pretty much all of our time together doing awesome stuff, so there's no need to alter our plans. ;-)
I would assume we'd celebrate our wedding anniversary though. That just seems different - more official - to me. LIke a birthday.
I also thought we were the only ones to not celebrate an anniversary! FI is really not into that. He just doesn't really get it...and we will have 4 wedding dates, so I really have no idea when/if we will even celebrate our wedding anniversary! We do celebrate Valentines Day (for men only in Korea) and White Day (for women only in Korea). Since he culturally 'got' those days, it was easier to start traditions on those dates.
We make sure we take time to do something once a month -- the anniversary of our first date is also the anniversary of our engagement so on that day each month, we go out to dinner, have a nice meal at home -- the priority is that it's our time to do something special and we don't make other plans on that day.
we celebrate each year. we just go out to dinner, nothing to special. he made anniversaries very easy for us. he proposed to me a year after we met, and we're getting married a year after that. so i think we're finished with our dating anniversary and we'll just stick with the meeting/proposal/wedding anniversary.
When we were dating, we celebrated every year only. Now that we're married, we celebrated our 1 month and 6 month anniversaries.
We celebrate March 26th every year as a 'real' anniversary, but we mini-celebrate every month's 26th as a reminder of our life together.

We didn't really celebrate anniversaries when we were engaged but now we are going to start doing wedding anniversaries. It's almost to our 6 months!
If we realize it's a month-a-versary, we'll high five each other for putting up with each other for another month, lol. :) I try to get him to do a date night once a month (we live together) and I like to do it around the anniversary just because.
We do a little something for our one year anniversaries...cards or something small. Dinner maybe. Whenever I happen to realize it's the 23rd of any other month I'll just be like "Oh today's our 5 year and whatever month anniversary" haha.
we celebrate our dating anniversary every year.. we go out to dinner and give each other cards and a present. Even after we are married we'll still celebrate it because its special to us. it'll be our 11th dinner in december :)
We have tried to celebrate our date-a-versary, but each year we both end up forgetting. It comes at a busy time of year for both of us, so usually we wait to celebrate during our summer vacation. We will definitely celebrate our wedding anniversary, good excuse to take a break- bosses don't seem to think a dating anniversary is a good enough excuse to take time off.
We celebrate every year but we usually try to remember the monthly anniversaries and say something to each other, even if its, "Oh, last Tuesday was 15 months!"
ummm every month!! it's easy because it's the first of the month so i always say happy anniversary and on the big ones (six month intervals) i try to do something more special.. but he teases me and i said that after the 1st (our 18 month) i won't mention it to him again and he's like YEAH RIGHT... ummm yeah lol he's probably right!
We're still doing months, not going to lie. It's funny because he's the longest I've ever dated anyone and so I cound and he's just like "Ummmm okay" cause he dated someone for 5 years...
We have a bigger celebration each year we make, but we acknowledge each month that we have been dating. I think that acknowledging each month has keep us closer because we are so happy to say happy __ year __ month anniversary each month.
Like a couple of others, we don't celebrate at all. I was the original driving force on that because, for me, it's something special for when I get married - until then, I don't want a date-a-versary. It took FI the whole first year to buy into NOT celebrating - at first he thought it was a test! Plus, we both like the idea that we don't need a specific day to celebrate our love for each other - we just celebrate that whenever we feel like it!
@cbgg: we don't celebrate Valentine's Day, either! Definitely not our thing - again, it took a little convincing with FI, but once I convinced him, he LOVED not celebrating it.
I think we're both looking forward to getting married, but I'm not sure it will change for a wedding anniversary. I think I'll leave the ball in his court...if he makes a big deal out it on our first anniversary, I'll be open to it.

When you are still just dating, do you celebrate each month? 6 months? Year? We don't celebrate! I always forget and we didn't even start dating a certain "day" just a time frame I guess! What about you?
